Product information
SOPWITH PUP
The DB Sopwith Pup kit has 4 separate wing panels which can be removed for transport. These are now slid onto rigid piano wire joiners and secured with one bolt per wing (this is to replace the previous spring clip mechanism).
The kit includes fully working 'quick' rigging as per the description to be found in the useful info under "How Rigging Works".
The Sopwith Pup is certainly a show stopper. At 1/4 scale this is a great companion to the DB SE5A.
This is a comprehensive kit comprising of
- Laser cut ply and balsa
- pre formed wire
- spun aluminium cowl.
- Fully working rigging
- Full accessories packs
- Strip and sheet Balsa
- NOW includes 3d Printed Vickers Gun
